Description Daniel Morris 2011-03-24 09:11:40 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.6; Linux) KHTML/4.6.0 (like Gecko) SUSE

The included HPLIP package seems buggy, bitmap images appear to have their colour inverted, looking like old fashioned negatives. There are various reports around the place. The workaround is to use the hpijs driver instead. I hit the problem with a DeskJet 5150, one machine had been upgraded and previously worked fine with the driver from openSUSE 11.3, the second was a clean install.

There's an upstream report, see:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/718494

I also saw corrupted text from a two page document printed directly from LibreOffice and also from the pdf created.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Default install, either configure via cups or hp-setup
2. Print test-page from hp-toolbox, or a real images
3.
Actual Results:  
Bad image

Expected Results:  
Good image!

Various issues in the HPCUPS driver are known
but bugs in printer drivers can only be fixed upstream.
